The Bird of Paradise plant (Strelitzia nicolai) is one of the most popular house plants in the world for good reason: it is easy to care for and its large, structural leaves bring style and grace to any setting. The Bird of Paradise exhibits tall stalks carrying broad green leaves with a glossy finish and often produces new leaves. It is common for older leaves to tear and curl over time. If not purchasing this lovely plant in a self-watering container, we recommend adding on a water globe to your order to help ensure moisture consistency.
